http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.p....&v=13ye
not exactly what i meant, though. that is the problem.
i need something where i can "nest" the folder into another folder, but only for apps and emulators, and by folders *i* name, not nessescerily how they are named on the hard drive.
here is my unleashx menu structure

seems the code command didn't like the tabs used in the xml file...but you should be able to see the idea....
a. emulators->
1. nintendo ->
a. nes
b. snes
c. n64
2. sega
a. master system
b. genesis
3. neo geo
a. arcade
b. cd
c. pocket
the bookmark system, though fine for some items, so far does not allow me to create a nested folder set, so i can't find a way at all to do what i'm trying to do....keep all the emulators in 1 bookmark, sorted by company name or emulator type, and then nested again and ordered by release year.
i'm also attempting to lock out certain applications to kids while keeping an overall simple drive structure. this can mostly be done with the lock/masterlock options, but i need to apply it to a folder i create, and also have the password engage if someone attempts to use the file manager to launch that program. i need a way to keep these locked out programs in the apps directory on the hard drive but still be nested into a seperate folder in the applications folder of xbmc. i also want to specify the order in which the applications appear, and hard code those so they never change.
on top of that, i need to lock out anything that could damage an xbox (like config magic) from anyone else but me.
the bookmark system doesn't seem to care about this, and though it allows me to look in depth for programs, it seems to pull them all to the top layer, even if i choose not to flatten the directory structure, which i have to do in order to put all the games into a single laywer.
this doesn't work. some people love having 50 icons on the top level to execute anything. i don't, except for the games.
i read thru the manual several times. the features i'm looking for do not seem to be there.
